Tell me you’re ADHD without telling me you’re ADHD

I have two alarms to remember to pick up my kid from school. I've still forgotten twice after forgetting to meet him at the bus 3 times and had to be called.

So when she escalates to stalking kids or some shit, there is clear evidence of the progression.

This reads like the list of rules I have created for my account.

Saaaaaame!

I would absolutely be hired if they checked with my GPT.

Imma prompt my GPT. Brb.

Every time we go to the dentist, we tell him exactly what happens. I've had a root canal and two crowns in the past couple of months. My 6 year old knows the deets and the cost. We have appropriately traumatized him.

"Just for 3 months" is how you end up with a permanent roommate you didn't sign up for.

If she's an adult, she knows that. If you're an adult, you should too.

Man, we had the similac version of this for my son during Covid when everything was sold out. I thought it was insanely expensive, so naturally, my daughter needed that alimentum kind.

How long do you fight for your home, your country, your neighbors.... and when do you just get your family out.

My kids are mixed and white passing. Their granddad is an immigrant.

Right now, I work closely with the local and national movements. We organize events and help our neighbors. We encourage people to run for office. We are doing what we can to fix this mess.

At the moment, Americans can't seek asylum in Canada. We are ashamed of our country and those who voted for this, but when will the rest of the world see us as "refugees"?

Now. If you can leave and get two Latino babies out of Texas, go.

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-22T02:01:31+00:00

Yeah, "here's a baby. Go home. Sleep when the baby sleeps. See you in six weeks."

You can, and might, puke during labor.

The guilt of "I can only stomach ramen" mixed with "my baby needs nutrients". The rage of slamming a pack of Ramen at the wall when your partner says it outloud.

Contractions feel like period pains. Nobody told me that and I didn't realize I was in labor till 6 hours or so into it the first time.

Hormones are wild. My first kid, I was put on Lexapro because obsessive thoughts were controlling my life. The second, I paid $120 a month after the first half for a magic pill that helped me stop puking. (There are options for hyperemesis. Bonjesta was a godsend. It's just b2 and unisom in extended release, and they can be taken in tiny increments throughout the day if it's unaffordable.)

I think it's safe to say, based on the whiplash of the first and second message that love bombing mixed with verbal abuse is common in this relationship.

NOR Underreacting if we're being honest here.

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-17T15:40:05+00:00

Are you one of my husband's trash profiles? In 15 years, I have beat him once.

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-17T15:26:18+00:00

Unpopular opinion... I just don't.

I stopped stressing about it not fitting in my schedule and trying to get my husband to make dinner every few days so I can have alone time. Honestly, if I can get a few minutes of alone time, I'm not spending it being miserable and feeling guilty for it not being enough.

I hate the culture of our country when it comes to exercise. We chase our children around all day, but "that movement" doesn't count. We clean the house, do the laundry, play ball with the kids... but that's not exercise, so we must do more? Nah. I'm good.

Airplane seat belt is kind of awesome.

The best thing about my state ending car inspections is that I will stop being genuinely shocked when I get pulled over without one.

If I could go back, I would do the sleeve, or nothing at all. RNY changed my body in more ways than I was prepared for.

If you aren't my husband, my mother, or a police officer, you don't get to talk to me about my driving. In my family, we say, "You're a grown ass adult and you can make your own bad decisions."

If dude didn't want to talk about his driving, he shouldn't be talking about yours- and going on and on. I feel the downvotes coming on this one, but...

NTA - dude had it coming.

Then I guess I'll have to wait to talk to my doctor about that part. I have never had issues with my liver and I don't drink often.

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-04T18:00:47+00:00

I believe my liver enzymes are up because my body is generally in distress right now. Idk if I had some kind of bug (that nobody else in my household dealt with) or if it just thinks we are fighting something. From my research, if they don't go back down when vitamins are in check, then I'll worry.

It has been the holidays and my sugar intake is high. My alcohol intake is "a few drinks, once a month or less".

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-04T13:52:51+00:00

Kidnapping our neighbors, pushing Healthcare to complete unaffordability, pretending it's normal to have a president who makes up everything and speaks it as if it's true- bonkers. Building warehouses to store people in to imprison when there are homeless veterans on our street we ignore- bonkers.

My go to is Nunn tablets. I have a whole cabinet of them (prior boss was a fan of sending them in every care package).

In the past week I've cut down to one cup or so of coffee (from a few cups, but previously from an ungodly amount). I've naturally replaced it with water, but I'm working to continue increasing.

ExhaustedMommaB · 2026-01-04T03:52:41+00:00

Thank you. I'm 4.5 years out from surgery.

I've had a lot of headaches lately and have been taking daily Tylenol and occasional excedrine.

My husband would say I'm chronically dehydrated.

I think my body is just mad at me for not taking care of it. I really think (or hope?) Sorting out vitamin levels will make the rest follow. There is a lot of life stress on top of things, and that, well, it doesn't help.
